  Fun to make and fun to eat! We had them as part of our main meal with some stirfried veggies and a leftover portion noodle salad. I also served (very ordinary and cheap) sweet chilisauce alongside, which went down just as well (if not better) than the home-made dip.

  It's easy to make your own wonton wrappers. This recipe yields about 24 wonton wrappers. Prep Time: 1 hour Total Time: 1 hour Ingredients: �1 egg �3/4 teaspoon salt �2 cups all-purpose flour �1/3 to 1/2 cup water, as needed �Extra flour as needed Preparation: Lightly beat the egg with the salt. Add 1/4 cup water. Sift the flour into a large bowl. Make a well in the middle and add the egg and water mixture. Mix in with the flour. Add as much of the remaining water as necessary to form a dough. (Add more water than the recipe calls for if the dough is too dry). Form the dough into a ball and knead for about 5 minutes, or until it forms a smooth, workable dough. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll out until very thin, and cut into 3 1/2-inch squares. Store in a plastic bag in the refrigerator or freezer until ready to use. Enjoy
